What is the difference between wine yeast and bread yeast?
Wine yeast in particular is bred to obtain higher alcohol levels than baking yeast. On average, bread yeast will get you 9 or 10%. Wine yeast clears more quickly from the wine than baking yeast. Wine yeast is bred to clump together as the fermentation activity slows – a process known as flocculation.
What is the alcohol tolerance of Fleischmann yeast?
Fleischmann will ferment up to 12% abv, which is awesome and minimizes the change of your brew turning into vinegar. You should add sugar to raise your original gravity though, since most 100% fruit juices won’t give you that much sugar. Mix sugar and juice first. Make sure all sugar is dissolved.

What’s the dosage for high alcohol turbo yeast?
Dosage is 3.6 kg to 1000 liter fermentation. Click here for more info. We also have a high alcohol tolerant Turbo yeast that can ferment very pure to 18%, if kept in temperature-controlled fermentation tanks at 25C, +-1C. If temperature is not held this steady it will not work: it will get over-heated and die because of the killing temperature.
How long does it take high alcohol yeast to ferment?
Drawing from this experience we have found that one Turbo is preferred by 99% of all distilleries: Temperature Tolerant Turbo Yeast, high alcohol yeast This is an osmo tolerant (high sugar concentrations) and temperature tolerant Turbo yeast that ferments very pure to 14% in 2 days and to 16% in 4-5 days.
What’s the specific gravity for high alcohol yeast?
